I’m from outside Schenectady originally and would get some of those wrong. Especially Skaneateles.

Great! Thanks for all this!

You might be right on Mirya. Top journals can take even longer with harder and multiple rounds of revisions.

Thanks. If I am remembering correctly, the data included items like time to do revisions, multiple rejections etc.

Thanks. Mostly thinking about journal articles. I wasn't even thinking about time from acceptance to in press. That can take forever!

Congratulations!

Someone on the other site used to post a figure keeping track of journal submissions, time to decision, etc of their own work. Does anyone recall who that was? I'd like to show students how long it takes to publish something.

The Republicans aren't helping themselves any here. The House only holding pro-forma sessions is particularly bad.

It's like an undergrad trying to hit the five page mark came up with the defaults for MS Word.

The approps battles won’t get easier after the shutdown Getting out of the shutdown will be hard. Funding the government for next year isn’t going to get any easier after that.

The shutdown is just the start.

Appropriations fights will only get harder — with House & Senate GOP divided on topline numbers, Dems demanding talks and billions separating defense & health funding.

When the Hope Scholarship covered more it was hard to beat the price. My wife was valedictorian at a large ATL school and went to UGA. I'm thankful she didn't have any student loans.

More or less yes.

Which one of you did this?

Jane Goodall passed away today. Here is a letter from she wrote to Rep. Glenn English from our congressional archive.

My kiddo says "I'm cold and there are wolves after me" but has no idea why, lol.

For public policy scholars: JPIPE published our article that uses machine learning to code the universe of congressional and state legislative data since 2009 by the Comparative Agenda Project policy codes. That's 1.68 million bills. OPEN-ACCESS here: www.nowpublishers.com/article/Deta...

This would be good for deficit hawks since the status quo is usually less spending.

This is cool but needs a fat finger margin of error.

The mower only gets out of jail for yard time.

The campus robot mower now lives in a cage instead of being free. I wonder if the cage is to keep the mower in or people out.

To answer your question I think we are in the public opinion majority but the Bluesky minority.

I was asked once to fact check a statement that a candidate voted to “shut down the government 5 times.” Every vote was in favor of a CR (or rule) so I said the person voted to keep the government open. My fact check was ignored.

Serving as managing editor for PRQ is an interesting job for a chair.
